Bonjour, and welcome to the Pokémon X and Y Official Discussion Topic!As of October 12th the sixth generation of Pokémon has begun around the world with the series' first set of games, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, released exclusively for the 3DS.

The pair are set within the Kalos region, based off France, with a massive Pokédex split into three parts, Central, Coastal and Mountain. Unlike previous games as a trainer you are able to customize your appearance, choosing between three options for each gender, as well as your clothing and accessories. There are several new features introduced this generation including quick use of Roller Skates, new and improved battle forms of Pokémon known as Mega Pokémon, and several new ways to interact with Trainers across the globe via wi-fi.

Pokémon X and Y features almost 70 new Pokémon, excluding the 20+ Mega Pokémon, and allows players to not only choose one of the new Kalos starters, but a starter from the original Kanto region as well. Training them becomes much easier with experience boosts given from the improved Exp Share, as well as in-game buffs from playing with your Pokémon in the new Pokémon Amie. EV Training is also easier with a new minigame known as Super Training. The Kalos region is possibly the largest yet, with over 15 cities and 450 Pokémon waiting to be explored and obtained. With all this being said, there are still many exciting things waiting to be experienced and discovered in the new Pokémon X and Y!

On this thread you may discuss any and all news pertaining to the newest pair of Pokémon games, including in-game details, tips, tricks, spoilers, and of course keep us updated on your team and your journey. Feel free to post your friend codes here and which version you have so it can be added to the list, trades and battles can also be hosted here.

Discussion Ideas• What traditions will you break with the new games?(Will you finally start nicknaming your Pokémon, or stop? Will you pick a starter type you usually stay away from? Will you make it a goal to complete the Pokédex?)

• Mega Pokémon.(How are you feeling about them? The starters? The new Mewtwo forme?)

• The Plot.

• The villainous team.(How do they stack up against previous versions?)

• Your Pokémon.(Which starters are you choosing? What's your dream team for your adventure? How do you like the new Pokémon of X&Y and the new Fairy-type?)

> UPDATES AND EVENTS <• Version 1.2 was released on December 12, as well as a system update; both updates are required to play online. The games' updates can be found in the eShop (for free), and they fix the occasional Wonder Trade move glitch as well as the fixes from 1.1. It also stops the use of the Instacheck and Battle Analyzer tools.• Pokemon Bank is now available worldwide! This enables access to Pokemon held in Generation V.

I believe Sylveon is going to be a normal-type even with people trying to convince me that it's going to be a flying pokemon. Anyway, so far I'm really digging the Parabola Charge move that Elikiteru learns.

I figured Sylveon could be flying because it was the lightest, but I wouldn't mind having them introducing a new type. I just wonder what kind of effectiveness would go with something like Fairy.:suspicious

whats so cool about fenniken, its a damm copy of vulpix. the other starters are ugly aswell

Fennekin is the manifestation of perfection in this imperfect world. Its charming appearance is the supreme example of beauty, its placement in the Fire-type family a demonstration of volcanic power, and its role as the Fire starter a heroic duty to stray from the brutal fighters. Also, Yveltal rocks you haters.
